I just learned about Hildegard of Bingen, born in 1098, a nun who created her own covenant. She wrote Ordo Virtutum, a "musical morality play – a drama in which the characters are personifications of moral or abstract qualities" (J. Staines). Ordo contains only female parts.
One of my favorite albums is Ayreon's "Human Equation" (2004), with a plot that is similar, and a form that is pretty much the same.
Time to discover the woman who did it first, 1000 years before.
